NON-CONTACT AC VOLTAGE DETECTOR The EX330 can detect the presence of AC voltage (from 100 to 600VAC) simply by being held very near to a voltage source. WARNING: Test the AC voltage detector on a known live circuit before each use.
V jack. Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit. Read the voltage in the display. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
Touch the black test probe tip to the negative side of the circuit. Touch the red test probe tip to the positive side of the circuit. Apply power to the circuit. Read the current in the display. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to check. If the resistance is less than approximately 100Ω, the audible signal will sound. If the circuit is ‘open’ (bad), the display will indicate “OL”. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
Touch the test probes to the diode under test. Forward voltage will typically indicate 0.400 to 0.700V. Reverse voltage will indicate “OL”. Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an open device will indicate “OL” in both polarities. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...

The probe can be pressed against a device under test to read its temperature or the probe can be held in air to read the ambient temperature. Allow 30 seconds for the display to stabilize. Read the temperature in the display. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and damage the unit. IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, the batteries should be removed to prevent damage to the unit. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
Always use fuses of the proper size and value (500mA/250V fast blow for the mA / µA ranges, 10A/250V fast blow for the A range). Secure the fuse/battery compartment cover. Place the protective rubber holster on the meter. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
The meter will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity. This will conserve battery energy. To turn the meter on after an Auto Power OFF, simply turn the rotary switch to OFF and then back to the desired setting. Model EX330 - Version 4.0 – 05/06...
